Plan your journey from Robin Hood Airport Doncaster Sheffield

Just a 15-minute drive from the airport, Doncaster is a historic market town set deep in the heart of South Yorkshire.

Built by the Romans almost 2,000 years ago, because of its strategic position on the River Don, Doncaster is a town steeped in history. The Norman castles at Conisbrough and Tickhill both stand just outside the city, while Brodsworth Hall and Gardens (built in the 1860s) offer a glimpse into life during the Victorian era. Cusworth Hall (the Georgian house on the outskirts of town) houses a museum and its immaculately landscaped gardens are definitely worth a visit.

Learn all about the history of the town at the Doncaster Museum and Art Gallery, exhibiting natural history, archaeology, local history and a collection of decorative art.

Housing some of the finest traditional markets in the country, Doncaster overflows with colourful shops and stalls. The area known as Doncaster Markets is home to 10 distinctive bazaars, selling a wide range of fresh local produce.
